Intergenerational Equity: An Overview of a Public Policy Debate in the United States.
Hoskins, Irene
Ageing International, v14 n1 p5-8,13 Spr 1987
The author argues that, although 1985 statistics suggest that the elderly are better off financially than at any time in recent history, these statistics do not show the whole picture. She states that there must be a change in public policy to prevent future intergenerational conflict. (CH)
